I knew he was "suspected" but now has been officially charged and could face the death penalty...

The guy who played shoe-throwing bad guy Random Task in "Austin Powers" has been charged with murder in the death of his prison cellmate, TMZ has learned ... and prosecutors could pursue the death penalty.

The guy in the cross hairs is Joe Son -- who was serving a life sentence in California's Wasco State Prison for torturing a woman -- when he allegedly killed his 50-year-old cellmate in 2011.

The victim, Thomas Graham, was serving a 2-year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender. He had previously been convicted for committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14.

It took 2 years because thats how the legal system works, it takes forever to go to court and formally convict someone, there are appeals and all kinds of other factors. Ive been through things that have taken years to finalize.(victim)

Most attorney general office's put charges against people who are walking the street to the front of the line. ie. if John Smith killed Jenny Softthighs, they are gonna move his docket up. If someone is in jail anyway, they can afford to wait. It's also because once he's charged it's in Joe Son's constitutional rights to have a 'speedy trial'. So it's best to charge him when you have some time to do it. Did I explain that ok?
